Hallo

Im experiencing severe problems in logging from solaris 8 (client) to Linux
(server). Linux to linux is working well, absolutely no problem there.

I have the following (basic) config setup on the 1 boxes:

Solaris Client:
source s_all { sun-streams ("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); internal();};destination
d_tcp { tcp("192.168.1.2"); };
log { source(s_all); destination(d_tcp); };

Linux:
source s_all { internal(); unix-stream("/dev/log"); tcp(); };
destination d_messages {
        file("/var/log/HOSTS/$HOST/$FACILITY"
	owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes));
	};
log { source(s_all); destination(d_messages); };

the result of this config is that absolutely nothing gets logged from the
solaris box. A netstat -a shows that the client is connected to the server
on the correct port. As already mentioned, logs from a linux client are successfully
collected.

Ideas anyone ? any help/tips would be appreciated.

Cheers
AlanCB
